Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has recently reached a new all-time player peak, fueled partly by an EA Publisher sale that slashed its price to just $7.99. This surge in popularity has reignited fans’ hopes for a Battlefront 3, even though EA’s current focus seems to be shifting away from Star Wars titles.
On June 22, the game hit a remarkable peak of 35,892 players. That’s quite a jump from earlier this year when Battlefront 2 saw its highest player count in over four years back in May. The ongoing sale on Steam has played a role, but the numbers are impressive.
Even NBA star Kyrie Irving joined the fun, streaming Battlefront 2 and expressing his enthusiasm: “I love this game because I wanna have a big LAN competition with this man, I wanna play the best Battlefront 2 players in the world. I want them to make Battlefront 3 already bro!”
The excitement isn’t isolated. On X, hashtags like #Battlefront3 and #MakeBattlefront3 are gaining traction. Users like Yandura lamented, “EA is fumbling the biggest bag of all time not announcing Battlefront 3,” while KG added, “I love every bit of this, Battlefront 3 should happen. I need it to happen.”
